Transportation

A container trailer saves more than 4000 yuan a month.

The continuous decline of oil prices is undoubtedly good news for logistics and transportation enterprises.

"The company's container trailers are mainly diesel oil. At this time last year, the number 0 diesel was about 7 yuan / liter, and the price of diesel 0 was about 5 yuan / liter after the falling oil price, which is 2 yuan / liter than that of the same period last year." Lin, manager of a logistics enterprise in our city, told reporters that the average daily transportation of 4000 kilometers of 20 container trailers was calculated. The daily average consumption of diesel oil was 1400 liters of diesel, which fell by 2 yuan per litre, which is equivalent to the monthly fuel cost less than 84 thousand yuan per month compared with the same period last year.

Although the cost of oil has dropped a lot, this has not reduced the pressure on Lin manager. "The company is undertaking the transportation of bulk materials for building materials. Since the beginning of this year, the volume of business undertaken by the company has been reduced by 30% compared with the same period last year due to the sluggish industry." Lin told reporters that as early as two or three years ago, the volume of business grew rapidly. For this reason, he specially purchased a number of container trailers, full load transportation. However, since the end of last year, the volume of business has declined sharply, resulting in the early purchase of vehicles with no use. Now 30% of the container trailers are idle.

Reporters learned that, due to the reduction of business volume, most of the goods and transportation enterprises are in a state of "not enough to eat". Although the fall in oil prices has brought great benefits, it can only compensate for the loss of resources overloaded.

　 Express industry

Leveling up labor costs and warehousing costs

Compared with the bulk cargo transportation industry, the drop in oil price is more obvious for the express industry.

"Next stage, the express industry will usher in the peak season. When the volume of business of almost all express companies will be blowout, the price of oil will drop, which can be said to be a timely rain." Mr. Xiao, who works in the urban area, told reporters that the oil price cut has increased the profits of the industry under the condition that the charging standards remain unchanged.

Reporters learned that, in the early days, many courier companies could not afford the pressure of rising oil prices. They had raised their prices. The average express fee rose by 2 yuan to 6 yuan. Then, can the oil price decline prompt the express company to reduce the express fee?

"Although oil prices have dropped a lot, labor costs have gone up a lot." Mr. Xiao told reporters that there are many factors that affect the adjustment of express fees, and that the reduction of oil prices is not enough to prompt the decline in express fees. In its view, at present, the possibility of reducing the express fee is not large. Because in addition to the oil price factor, there are other factors such as the remuneration of the courier, the cost of warehousing, and other factors which affect the floating of the express fee.

According to reports, in the past three years, the wages and warehousing expenses of the express industry have increased by 25% and 10% respectively. The decline in the price of oil has just flatten the growth of the above two costs, but in general, the decline in oil prices has made the delivery industry much better.

　 textile industry

The cost of production can be reduced by 9%.

In addition to the express logistics industry, our clothing, leather, bleaching and dyeing, chemical fiber and other industries also welcome good. "Compared with the price of oil in August of last year, the price of diesel No. 0 has fallen by nearly 30%, and the production cost of enterprises has decreased by 9%." Chen, manager of a textile enterprise in Jinjiang, said that after the oil price cut, the cost of raw materials and other industries will also be reduced. Leatherwear The cost of such industries will also drop.

Reporters learned from some textile and garment enterprises that most of the synthetic dyestuffs were petroleum derivatives, and the coatings for PU leather and coated fabrics were related to petrochemical products. clothing Polyester thread, plastic buckle and so on are petrochemical products. Manager Chen is optimistic that enterprises with high dependence on oil may gradually get out of the downturn because of lower costs.

The reporter has learned that after several "struggles" with the rise in oil prices, most enterprises in our city have countermeasures. For example, in the product structure adjustment, do more high-grade products. In this way, the profit margin is relatively large, which can offset the pressure of business volume reduction.
